Hi Members,
I do hope this is the correct mailing list. My question pertains to
LFS and the LFS LiveCD but the mailing list for the LiveCD no longer
appears active. Thank you for taking my question please.
I've been studying Linux for awhile now and would like to utilize the
LFS system to build a Linux distro and also to learn the concepts of
structure and construction that will also enable me to help/join a
development team on a particular existing distro.
Can you please tell me if the LFS LiveCD is still a valid tool to
utilize in learning the "how to" of building a linux distro. I read
that the LFS LiveCD is no longer supported and the LiveCD is not
available for version 7.0 and later.
In other words, can I still build an LFS distro that is fully
functional in today's environment using the last supported version of
the LFS LiveCD?
Or...
Is it better to go with the latest version and install the LFS system
to a hard drive that has a host distro installed? I did read the
benefits of using the LiveCd versus installing to a host distro on the
LFS FAQ.
Any suggestions would surely help as I take my first step.
Thank you Kindly

Yes that is correct about the live cd it is out of date now. You would
be better using a distro installed as host, any distro will work as long
as it is made compliant

I have also used a live cd from a production distro which I made compliant.
